Wool wraps

[Minxy]

Any of you clothies ventured into the world of wool yet?

I was not convinced but now I love them!

You use a wool wrap instead of PUL and not only is it waterproof but breathable too. Stanley's nappies are actually drier in the morning after a nght wearing one I think moisture must evaporate.

Here's a pic

I've seen them and thought about it but never had the nerve to buy them!

How exactly is wool water proof? Is it treated with Lanolin? If it is wont you have to keep treating them?

 

[Minxy]

It needs treating with lanolin but not often, I do mine every 6 weeks or so and it's pee easy (Scuse the pun ).

The wierd thing is if you dry the wool out in the morning it doesn't smell like wee and you can get a week or more out of one wrap. I only use it at night but I'm sure it'd be reliable enough for day too.

I still find it really wierd how it works, but it does

Since Lynsey mentioned them before, I thought I'd bump this post with a couple of pics of Stanley in his latest longies.

They're not cheap but you can describe almost anything you want and someone will do it!

There are cheaper machine knitted ones available on Ebay
